A Yankee Girl at Fort Sumter by Alice Turner Curtis ~ Full Audiobook [history]

A Yankee Girl at Fort Sumter by Alice Turner Curtis audiobook.

Genre: history

Ten-year-old Sylvia Fulton has left Boston behind and is living with her parents in Charleston, South Carolina, in the tense months just before the Civil War begins. Curious, warm-hearted, and fiercely loyal, Sylvia tries to make a home in a city where her Northern roots mark her as an outsider. At school she finds kindness and fast friendship with girls like Grace Waite and Flora Hayes, but she also meets sharp prejudice from classmates who fling the word 'Yankee' like an insult. Beyond the classroom, Charleston Harbor and its looming forts become part of Sylvia's everyday world, and growing talk of secession turns familiar streets into a place of whispers, secret errands, and sudden danger. Through her bond with Estrella, an enslaved girl close to her own age, Sylvia begins to see the painful contradictions beneath the city's elegance and 'honor.' As friendships are tested and loyalties harden, Sylvia must decide what courage looks like when the world around her is choosing sides, and when a child's sense of right and wrong collides with the realities of history in motion.
